Muslim student victimized. You might be surprised why

Loading

Ahh, the party of tolerance and civility strikes again! This time, liberal antagonists at the University of Michigan had to decide which was more important to them: their blind defense of all things Muslim or their hatred of conservatives.

It appears from a story at the College Fix that the latter instinct won out. Omar Mahmood, a Muslim student who espouses conservative and libertarian beliefs, returned to his apartment to find the words d*ck” and “scum” scrawled on his door, along withe invitation to “shut the f*ck up.” Some of the vandalism was visual and included included an image of the devil.

Some of the warnings were posted on paper that included a print out of Mahmood’s satirical essay he wrote recently for the conservative campus publication the Michigan Review that poked fun of liberals’ victimhood mentality. That column, titled “Do the Left Thing,” caused an uproar among some on campus and triggered his termination as a columnist from the mainstream Michigan Daily student newspaper.

The vandalism was discovered Friday morning by Mahmood’s roommates. They live in an apartment complex that mostly houses students just outside the campus property.

In an interview with The College Fix, Mahmood described the scene he encountered:

There was a cracked egg thrown at the door, hot dogs thrown at the door. The messages were clearly threatening. These people don’t know me personally, so I don’t know why they would do this with such vengeance. This seems like a very personal attack.

Mere amateurs.
In the ”moderate” Islamic state of Indonesia the EDITOR of the Jakarta Post is facing 5 years in prison for publishing a political cartoon that was critical of ISIS.
See, his cartoon opined that ISIS is NOT doing Allah’s will.
(Just like Obama says.)
But that’s ”blasphemy,” because the cartoon that makes that point — that the Islamic State is doing evil in the name of Islam.

The Jakarta Post Chief Editor Meidyatama Suryodiningrat, 47, was named a suspect, citing witness testimonies and evidence, for his responsibility over all products of the Post.

The chief editor issued a statement late Thursday, saying the newspaper did not commit a criminal act as accused, while a journalists’ group said the case threatens the country’s press freedom.

The cartoon published on July 3 depicted a flag emblazoned with the Arabic phrases “La ilaha Illallah,” meaning “there is none worthy of worship except Allah,” and “Allah, Mohamed and Apostle” on a pirate skull.

The police spokesman said they will summon and question Suryodiningrat next week as a suspect. The journalist faces five years in prison for blasphemy against a religion under the Criminal Code.

The police were alerted to the case by a Muslim group, called Jakarta Preachers’ Corps, after the Jakarta Post issued an apology about the internationally syndicated cartoon and a retraction from its website and print edition
